Wild Hogs
« on: March 27, 2007, 08:39:26 AM »
Went to see it last weekend. Quite funny in places. Being the safety nerd that I am I have trouble with the lack of appropriate helmet usage and the poor lane positioning in the group rides.

And H/D do not need any more promotion; they sell every bike they make anyway! The producers should have put the stars on one of each of the big four clone bikes.

It was not a great movie, but I did enjoyed it and so did my wife. There is a place for just fun movies without some deep message. Four old farts like me on bikes already makes it funny.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I saw a pirated version (don't ask) the other day, and it was indeed a funny movie..
I like how with the spectacular crashes the bikes never showed any damage.. :-\ ;D

Went to see it last night. I heard it panned so much I expected to be bored but "I'm alright!" What a hoot! I think they could have done it in that nasty Volks van from Little Miss Sunshine and it would have been just as good (and saved Little Miss Sunshine). It's all about the road trip. The theatre was full of old pharts and their mauls/one ups and they never quit laughing.

Good clean fun. Come to think of it, never heard the f bomb all night either.

If you look closely at the bike Ray Liotta is riding, it is not a HD, it is an Orange County Chopper.

I'd be willng to bet that was mostly for the camera work.

The movie made me remember something my Dad once told me.  If you see a man moving it means hes running to or away from something.

These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.
